Bob with Body Pros again. We’re going to show two important stretches for low back pain. Ones for the piriformis, and one’s the IT band. Okay, piriformis is first. This is obviously the problem side. Bring the knee up, over, and in. Give a little bit of pressure, and then twist the ankle a little bit and they’ll feel a stretch right about there right? Yeah all right. You hold that stretch for about 30 to 45 seconds.
IT band. Very important muscle. Lay flat. Good. Now you’re going to bring the leg over, but the patient has to keep the hip down. If they don’t, they’ll lose the stretch, and you should feel that stretch all the way from here up to there right, yes helps with back pain this also will help with knee paint if you have a kneecap that kind of is pushing out to the side this will stretch out that muscle right there same thing you hold that for about 30 to 45 seconds.
